    11 Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

    12 Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king's decree; Have you not signed a decree, that every man who shall ask a petition of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be altered.
